BN0171™ Watch - Black/Ceramic : Braun

New Braun BN0171 Watch Review and detailed images by James Avalar for Stardust.com 08/04/2014. The Braun Watch Model BN0171 which goes on sale today at Stardust features a classic all-black round dial face and is influenced by early Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs designs. At $599, this beautiful unisex wrist watch is hard to resist. This Braun Men's Analog Wristwatch comes with an all-black Ceramic Band and Casing. Braun Watches are now made under license by British watch brand Zeon, but are still designed and made in Germany. We've had this watch on our have-to-get list for the last months, but we were having a difficult time procuring our first stock in the USA. After trying for several months, we finally got our first shipments of Braun BN0171 watches which were all sold during the first day (new stock will be arriving soon in time for the holidays). The Braun BN0032 features a classic round face without a date window and a black ceramic steel strap. Available in black or grey, the watch has a yellow seconds ticker adding a touch of color to the simple face. All features of the watch are uncomplicated and easy to use, to provide the user with a simplistic solution for their time-telling needs. The watch has a 38mm matt stainless steel case and is most popular with men although it is marked as unisex watch.
Braun watches and clocks were awarded a total of four German Design Awards at the annual awards ceremony
in Frankfurt on 7th February 2014.

The German Design Award is an international premium prize, which
successfully enhances the standing of both designers and companies. Prizes are awarded to top quality products
and projects from product and communication design, design personalities and newcomers, all of whom
are —in their own way— pioneering in German and international design landscape. As an industry competition
for the industry that highlights participants’ great design expertise, the German Design Award has an excellent
public image. This is also down to the reputation of its organizer, the German Design Council, which has been
representing and supporting the German design industry with its expertise in all questions relating to design
for 60 years now. To win a German Design Award on the occasion of the anniversary of the German Design
Council is especially significant – it stands for 60 years of design culture.

The hiring of 23-year-old Dieter
Rams, in 1955, had far-reaching implications for Braun.
Rams started as an interior
designer and soon became the
nucleus of Braun’s own design department.
Gradually, the new design
style spread not only to the entire
product line, but also to all communications
instruments – from stationery
and use instructions all the way to
advertising. This gave Braun a corporate
identity long before the term
was even coined. The new design concept implemented
by Dieter Rams and the Braun
design team quickly gained fame;
as early as in the late 1950’s, Braun
products were selected for prestigious
permanent collections such as
at the MoMa in New York.

Perhaps a good match if money is no objection:

During this
period, Braun’s traditional strength in
radios, record players and combined
hi fi units continued. Clocks, watches and calculators
were important primarily in the 1980’s
and set new design standards for
clarity and reduction, combined with
innovative technology. During the
1980’s Braun concluded its presence
in the HiFi business with an exclusive
‘Limited edition’ to then focus on
the more lucrative small appliance
sector, in particular personal care
and household products. Shavers
became – and still are today - the
biggest business segment for Braun,
featuring design innovations such as
two-component molding to achieve
soft nubs on a hard housing, for better
handling.
